Kelso is a picturesque and well appointed country market town, which lies at the junction of the Rivers Tweed and Teviot. Modern Kelso is an attractive place to live - Sir Walter Scott once described it as 'the most beautiful if not the most romantic village in Scotland'. While no longer a village, Kelso has retained its appearance along with its character and cultural heritage. Kelso is a popular location for buyers aiming to move to the region, and the property market remains buoyant, and is particularly strong in the higher price ranges, which are attracting interest from south of the border, mainly from people looking to retire to an area that offers excellent all-round lifestyle opportunities. Local estate agents in Kelso say the local property market spans everything, from modern flats, luxury apartments and one-off houses, to traditional flats and terraced styles, picturesque rural cottages and larger stone-built houses from the Georgian and Victorian eras. The planned reinstatement of the 35 mile railway line between Edinburgh and Tweedbank in the Borders will make this part of the Borders more widely accessible and add to its appeal in the future.
The focal point of Kelso is the wide, cobbled market square, which is flanked by grand 18th and 19th century buildings. The market square is surrounded by local, high quality, individual shops and a good selection of restaurants and cafés. People considering Kelso property will discover the area has good recreational facilities, including a Kelso Racecourse (voted Britain's friendliest race course in a Sunday Times survey), a swimming pool, an ice rink, a cinema and fishing on the River Tweed and The Teviot. Golfing enthusiasts are well catered for, with a number of local courses and The Roxburghe Championship course at Sunlaws. Families searching for houses for sale in Kelso can choose from state primary and secondary schools, and a selection of private schools in the area.
